I always felt weird, rather funny when my cousins and a few of my friends yelled at me for revealing/sharing parts of a movie or a novel in fragments.
I felt an individual would watch that movie or read that book irrespective of me giving them parts of it.
I dint really know that the thrill or excitement of watching a movie would be lost when they get to know even the slightest part of the movie before hand! For I, would watch a movie I intend to, with full interest and a clear mind even if some one had told me about it earlier!
Different mindsets and different school of thought of course,
but now,
I know
of having posted a spoiler.
Here's the Story
~~ A Spolier ~~
It was on MA (the chat line used by UBS). People across the globe, who work for UBS(which is obvious) are present on MA.
There is a channel #Film_Society on MA where in one can find some real good list of movies watched by individuals.
I had watched Vertigo(1958, Alfred Hitchcock's) last night and I happened to post on #Film_Society about that movie.
I said ...
"Watched Vertigo yesterday, for a while I thought all that drama by Madeline/Judy was to help Scottie over come his acrophobia (Was reminded of Shutter Island),
but a nice twist at the end (the Murder of Gavin's wife)."
Literally I would have been thwacked with king sized Solanum lycopersicum and eggs for having revealed the movie in short. That was a massive spoiler to many movie lovers and they were all disheartened. The kind of feeling kids usually get when they miss Birthday Surprises ! o_O ~~
I apologized for having thrown a spoiler and they insisted each one to forewarn people about spoilers from any one henceforth.
End Story
(Later)
A few commandments to ensure you don't hurt movie lovers

* Thou should learn to control thou excitement and must take great care before posting stuff that could screw you left right center!!
